Belgian Freestyle Motocross rider Julian Vanstippen successfully defended his crown at King of the Whip 2024, claiming his third title in a row in front of a sold-out crowd at Montecasino last weekend.
Over 20 of the best Freestyle Motocross and regular Motocross riders took to the ramps to compete in the Best Whip and Best Trick contests.
Up for grabs was a share of the R225,000 cash prize and various prizes from the official event partners.
This year saw the biggest list of international riders come out to compete - Vanstippen (Belgium), Tom Parsons (US), Pat Bowden (Australia), Genki "Wanky" Watanabe (Japan), Andreu Lacondeguy (Spain), Sebastian Westberg (Finland) and Antonio Navas (Spain).
"Every year this event exceeds expectations," event organiser Ryan van der Spuy said.
"It has gone from strength to strength and is now an event with international acclaim. We're in our third year at this venue, sold out again.
